iRacing Who?
Are they doing anything at this point other than spending John Henry's
money on real life racing? |

iRacing Who?
"iRacing.com's mission is to create the world's most authentic, most
sophisticated, most accurate PC-based racing simulations and advance a new branch of motorsport — known as simracing — through globally sanctioned, real-time, online competition." At least they are having fun racing Pontiac Solstice's around. I would have loved to run out to Limerock to meet the guys and see what the heck is going on but I heard nothing of it until well after it was over.. the "Updates" you sign up for are pretty useless. You would * think* there would be a demo of something out by now,or at least some sort of hint to the target arrival date or a pricing scheme...

Also wonder who they have doing the beta testing? I wasn't qualified
apparently as I have only about 15 years sim racing and a short time doing RL Porsche Club racing. Can't wait to hear what Micheal Schumacher has to say! ;-) GP >>On Fri, 03 Aug 2007 07:37:46 -0700, wrote: >>Are they doing anything at this point other than spending John Henry's >>money on real life racing? |

I was on the beta team very, very early back when they were really coming down hard on guys for "modifying" the old game. I just got really bored with it myself. I WANNA RACE! Not what they were doing at that point.It was needed I know, but ugh! I thought we were suppose to see something in the spring from them. But papy has always been like this haven't they? Wait, and keep everyone in the dark until they were ready to show something. I can't blame them with the way people act in here and on other boards..hehehe Mike mls67 TrippBros. Racing |

Racing Well if you want a demo drine NR2003,it's all based on that(hence the crack down on modders)when it gets here it will be a play for pay series,I think I'll pass! |

Although some of the underlying technology shares some of the N2003 techniques, this is as different as any sim could be. NR2003 shared techniques of GPL too, but I don't recall hearing that in order to experience N2003 you should test with GPL... |

I recently started playing a space game (another genre I like other than racing simulations) that was 6 years in the making - and the developers still plan to update it over the next few years. If you ask any developer to start from near zero and produce a title (of any sort) I'm sure they can get you a racing game pretty quick, but it takes a lot longer to create an accurate simulation. I would have thought more of you would have the knowledge and experience to realise that things sometimes take time. To even question whether the product is an "if" is just silly. |
